What Causes Lump Oozing Foul-smelling Liquid On Labia Majora?
I just today noticed in the toilet that there is again a small little bit painful lump on my labia minora (inner surface). I squeezed it and as before also this time there came out some white "stuff" which smelled so so terrible bad that the whole toilet smelled. That smell also stucked to my fingers so badly that even after washing 2 times with hand soap my 'squeezing fingers' still had some smell. It is really discusting smell. I wish to know what these lumps are and what causes them? I tried to search information about this but didnt really find the answer. Barthols glands is the closest what i could find (the location is at least almost the same, maybe mine is not quite that deep in) but it didnt have anything related to the white stuff and terrible smell. I have often boils on the hairy area or major labia inner surface, but the stuff in those isnt smelling (if it happens to smell) even close as bad as these minor labia lumps so those arent normal boils. Thank you in advance !
based from your description, yes, it could be folliculitis. this usually occurs after shaving or when a hair is accidentally pulled out and it gets infected. it could also be a cyst, or an inflammatory reaction which is starting to form an abscess. a consult with your gynecologist is best for clinical evaluation. medical and/or surgical management will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
